Shape Up Gamescom Preview | GameGrin

GameGrin's Ryan Davies writes: "So far, Wii Fit has proven to be a bit of an anomaly. The fitness game genre pretty much spawned directly from the 2008 smash hit, but since then we haven’t seen a game come close to either the quality or the success of Wii Fit. So for Ubisoft’s new fitness game, the aptly titled Shape Up, there’s a tough challenge on the horizon. Eschewing the serious tone of the original Wii title, Shape Up aims to make fitness fun - yet another challenge by all accounts. Of course, the Kinect 2.0 is by far a more able piece of technology than a Wiimote, so the game has an advantage on that count, but is a fun fitness videogame actually possible? I spent some time with the game recently and while I’m not totally sold as of yet, I can see this appealing to a lot of people out there."
